I bought a Ring King game (in a converted Van Gaurd cabinet of all things).
Ring King is a 1985 Data East Game. It has 2 joysticks (new in '85). The player 1 stick is really stiff. I'm thinking it's just gummed up. Any pointers on making it work nicely again?
I'm planning on taking it out and spraying all the old grease out of hte gimbal with WD40 and then re-greasing it.
Unfortunately, all the wires in the panel are soldered to the switches, so getting it out will be a drag.
My current plan is to mame the cabinet. What do I do with the original boards? I'm sort of thinking of just leaving them there. There just doesn't seem to be too much demand for Ring King PCBs or marquees. The Ring King panel layout is sort of cool, because it will work for Defender and Robotron.
